Up in the northwest reaches of metro Phoenix, Surprise keeps spreading out along US-60 and Bell Road, and AZ Movers and Delivery has loaded trucks here ever since Travis Ackerman launched the company back in 2014. Having grown up around the West Valley, Travis knows this town from the ground up: a young family closing on a two-level place inside Surprise Farms calls for a plan that looks nothing like what a retired couple needs when they pare down into a single-level house behind the Sun City Grand entrance. Both jobs belong start to finish to our salaried crew. Whoever blankets your dresser at the pickup is whoever sets it down again across town, because we own each truck outright and your belongings are never passed along to some other outfit.
How Travis sizes up a Surprise move before any AZ Movers and Delivery truck arrives
This corner of the valley grew quickly, and each pocket of it wants something different come moving day. We walk through every detail in advance so the crew loses no time once it shows up.
- Marley Park and Surprise Farms family homes: two-story layouts come with long staircases, so we bring added muscle and park where each upstairs trip stays brief.
- Sun City Grand 55-plus residences: these single-story slab houses tuck behind a guarded entry, so your gate code goes on file and we stay within the HOA’s posted hours at a relaxed cadence that fits active-adult life.
- Snowbird and retirement downsizing: seasonal owners trimming a full household get help sorting, careful tagging of boxes, and a place to stash whatever still has to wait.
- Desert timing: once readings push beyond 110 we start at daybreak, and across the July-through-September monsoon we shrink-wrap firmly against flying grit and the fast cloudbursts a haboob throws down.
What an AZ Movers and Delivery job runs across Surprise
✓ Our own trucks, run by movers on the AZ Movers and Delivery payroll
- Ring us and Travis or someone else here in Peoria answers in person, never a rented call floor
- Whatever total the written estimate shows is what you settle at the curb — no surcharge tacked on for moving day, no padded rows slipped into the bill.
- A single AZ Movers and Delivery crew packs, loads and unloads from start to finish
- Each load carries $1M of coverage, and any insurance certificate your HOA or building wants goes out the same day
- If anything goes wrong, Travis reviews the claim himself, and it stays inside our Peoria office
× Broker chain
- Send those same details through a broker and they bounce around a call floor before being sold off to the cheapest bidder in the pile.
- Surprise “extras” tacked onto the invoice the moment the truck pulls up
- A truck you do not recognize pulls up with a crew of strangers aboard
- The insurance certificate and the building paperwork become yours to chase down
- Damaged goods brushed off with a “that wasn’t our subcontractor” line
You get the number before a single box leaves the floor, and it stands. Choose hourly labor priced at $110 for a pair of movers, $155 for a trio, or $200 for a team of four. Want one flat figure instead? A studio comes in around $380 to $620, a one-bedroom $620 to $1,000, two bedrooms $1,000 to $1,650, three bedrooms $1,650 to $2,700, and four bedrooms $2,650 to $4,200. Moving a piano? Count on $270 to $440 for an upright and $460 to $800 for a baby grand. When your closing dates fall apart, climate-controlled storage holds at $100 to $240 monthly, scaled to your load.
| Surprise household | Flat quote range |
|---|---|
| One-bedroom in Sun City Grand | $620–$1,000 |
| Two-bedroom near Grand Avenue | $1,000–$1,650 |
| Four-bedroom in Surprise Farms | $2,650–$4,200 |
A backed-up Bell Road or a slow HOA gate is on us, and it never lands on your bill
Whatever Travis quotes is the sum you settle. A jammed length of US-60, a guard booth that drags, a heat wave forcing the dawn start: each of those falls to our side. Each haul rides beneath $1M in cargo coverage, the $0.60/lb released value holds as the default, optional 1-to-3% full-value protection waits should you prefer a higher tier, and you keep nine months to file any claim.
Leaving Arizona altogether out of Surprise? We handle the long haul behind the wheel ourselves, with steady runs out to Las Vegas and throughout California, which means whoever carries your sofa past the Sun City Grand entry is the very same crew putting that bedroom back together once you arrive. Nobody else picks up the keys midway. Ring AZ Movers and Delivery at (888) 711-4778.
